Illegal Immigrants Defy Tom Homan. So Where’s His Response?
Since former acting ICE Director Tom Homan was chosen as Trump’s border czar, he’s provided us with some entertaining quotes.
During a Fox News appearance Homan drew a line, "There will be a massive deportation operation because we have a massive, never-seen-before illegal immigration [wave].
"It’s not about hate, it’s not about discrimination, it’s not about being racist — it’s about those people entering the country illegally, which is a crime. If [Democratic governors] are not willing to help, then get the hell out of the way, because ICE is going to do the job."
That’s both bellicose and punchy.
The New York Post quotes Homan, "If you’re in the country illegally, you’re on the table [for deportation] because it’s not OK to, you know, violate the laws of this country."
This gave hope to citizens who were afraid illegals were going to be graded like diamonds with the shiniest allowed to stay.
And then there was the memorable response to a regime media hack who wanted to create an image of crying children as Dad was hustled away by ICE agents. CBS's "60 Minutes" asked, "Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without separating families?"
Homan’s winning response, "Of course there is. Families can be deported."
So far so good.
Homan’s talking the talk, but now it’s time to walk the walk, because the lawbreakers have taken to the streets and are daring Homan to do something about it.
KTLA reports last Sunday, "A massive protest formed in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday in response to President Trump’s crackdown on immigration and emphasis on deportations, where protestors were on and off the 101 Freeway and on surface streets well into the evening.
"The protest, which was organized and promoted on social media, originated on the Placita Olvera on Olvera Street near DTLA. By 11:30 a.m., the protest had thousands of demonstrators and was growing in size, marching to City Hall in downtown."
And that wasn’t the only illegal alien street festival last weekend. There were also protests in San Diego, Dallas, Arkansas, Missouri and Georgia. These are protests in direct defiance of U.S. immigration law and it’s time Homan did something about it.
These protests are full of illegals ripe for deportation. What’s more, they are no secret, as KTLA pointed out the event “was organized and promoted on social media.” It was also, no doubt, funded by many of the NGOs leeches that use tax dollars to subvert immigration law.
If Homan doesn’t want to become the paper immigration tiger, he must choose one of these protests and round up every illegal at the event.
Since the defiant aren’t secretive, monitor social media and start with a Red State protest where Homan should be able to count on the cooperation of local authorities. Surround the event suddenly, with an overwhelming ICE and police presence, and round up every illegal there and deport them as quickly as possible.
Maybe wrap them in the flags they so proudly display so they won’t wind up in the wrong country. Again.
Make an example.
Show the streets belong to the United States and not the illegals.
It will create a media sensation and greatly reduce the enthusiasm behind these illegal protests in the future.
Equally important this roundup will show the illegals this nation is finally serious about who gets to stay.
